This No Bake Chocolate Avocado Pudding tastes just like your favourite childhood pudding! Thick and delectable, it takes only 10 minutes of prep!

It’s no surprise that I’m in love with avocados. They are one of the most flexible ingredients ever, great on their own, and even better mixed into something. Case in point? This creamy chocolate avocado pudding. I recently got an overhaul of avocados (because, obsession) and wanted to use it in every way I could possibly think of. Pairing it with chocolate just seemed like the best way to have this – I know, I know. If you’ve never tried chocolate and avocado mixed together you may be highly sceptical. Shun that scepticism far, far away my friends. This is possibly one of the world’s best combos, and you’re about to see why.

This isn’t my first chocolate and avocado dance. My Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream remains in my top 5 most popular recipes and the comments, the last being “holy mother this is amazing”, pretty much explain why. You can’t taste the avocado one bit. In fact, all you taste is “why haven’t I made this before” and “why did I tell my family I was making this I want to eat it all for myself”.

Endless visions of happiness essentially.

So what do we have? Avocado, cocoa powder, banana, coconut cream and optional chocolate chips/cacao nibs make up this creamy chocolate avocado pudding. These powerhouse ingredients also make this a really superfood dessert too – win, win. You can be confident knowing that not only does this taste absolutely amazing, creamy, and like your favourite chocolate pudding (am I the only one?!) but that you’re doing great things to your body. Tons of fiber, tons of antioxidants, and tons of healthy fats. Use that when someone asks why you haven’t eaten anything but this for 3 days. Don’t let them judge you!

Add the avocado and coconut cream to a food processor and pulse together until incorporated.

Add the maple syrup, banana and cocoa powder and blend until incorporated, about 15-30 seconds.

Add the cacao nibs if desired and blend again.

Scoop the pudding into one container or 3-4 mini containers. Cover the top with saran wrap, pressing until the pudding so that water doesn't condense in the pudding.

Place in your fridge for at least 3 hours to set.

Garnish with a mint leaf, coconut whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder.

Enjoy!

You can buy coconut cream at Trader Joes OR you can make it by putting a container of coconut milk in the fridge upside down overnight. It’ll solidify over night and you can scoop it out and use it as coconut cream. There will be some coconut water at the bottom that you can either discard or use in a dish. Hope that helps!

I just found your sight, and had a look through it. Fantastic food, and healthy at that. Love and going to try a lot of these recipes, i can tell you that. It nice when people can help others to fine good meals, and being healthy as well. God bless you.
